I tend to wear my shirts, and have been stopped a couple of times, but want to keep them in shape for the conferences. 02:27:46 not really, we used to have them weekly, now since you are just getting things started, they will understand 02:28:47 reher I have not heard anything, but will ask if we can have our own made with designs approval 02:28:53 #action juggler to configure 5 Mar in the Fedora Calendar reminders for next FAmNA West meet 02:29:33 I'd love to have a polo. I thought there were restrictions with the hard-to-find pantone color, though... 02:29:58 at least hard-to-find this side of the pond 02:30:03 juggler(m) I will announce your meeting along with the report at the end of the meeting 02:30:17 perfect 02:30:18 and yes you are correct with the color scheme 02:31:23 juggler(m) also please send a reminder a few days before. 02:32:59 if I configure the reminder, it should hopefully do that for me. :) 02:33:06 thank you 02:33:09 no worries 02:34:05 here's a random open floor item: a local Linux club attendee advised he prefer using A---Linux because it supports rolling releases. How do I speak to that? 02:35:55 well, how is the support structure, history tends to show the linux distros that have a poor or weak support structure tend to fall apart after some time, for example ubuntu, xandros, and to name a few others 02:36:02 Some people just like to tinker. Fedora tends to be more stable these days with less tinkering. 02:36:35 steelaworkn you were hiding in the shadows, good evening 02:36:46 steel! 02:36:49 I thought it was at 5 pst 02:37:14 I would personally speak to how Fedora is ahewad of most distros in terms of the packages we offer, the ease of updating from one release to another, etc. I think we offer the perfect balance between bleeding edge and stability 02:37:17 637pst 02:39:05 Hi steel 02:39:12 thanks for the feedback all on that 02:39:49 I tend to not get too edgy when people prefer other distros 02:40:12 juggler where does the other distro lead too in the end, technical support, and leading the way stability, and Fedora has been around the longest so far 02:40:33 oh not getting edgy here. the person I spoke with seemed a little Fedora-averse, and I'm always encouraging discussion on distros 02:42:12 separate issue: does someone have a link where I can file a Fedora feature request for the login screen? 02:42:28 juggler just remember, what a person is comfortable with they have a tendency to stick with. If you have them try the closest resemblance (fedora spin) to what they are using it may lead them our way 02:42:38 it would be nice to know when the Caps Lock is engaged, like other, ahem, OSes... :) 02:43:23 juggler stand by 02:43:34 I'm curious what spins seem similar to A---Linux 02:44:08 Just wondering out loud... 02:44:38 hahah none 02:44:49 rawhide maybe 02:45:15 Doesn't A--Linux allow the user a lot of room for creativity? 02:45:34 perhaps...not too familiar with it 02:45:35 Rawhide might be a bit too...raw 02:45:35 And it does test a person's prowess 02:45:44 it allows for a lot of creativity and nuts and bolts knowledge of raw system usage 02:46:08 Found this...not sure about this website, but if any of it's true, sounds like some inroads could be made: 02:46:09 https://www.slant.co/versus/2688/2690/~fedora_vs_arch-linux 02:47:06 where gentoo is more a raw developer experience (rebuild everything the way I want it), arch is more of a raw ops experience.. I will configure this to how I want it 02:48:19 has award3535 returned? 02:48:33 I am here, just reading your posts 02:48:43 oh ok, great :) 02:48:58 sorry I thought I was speaking on #fedora-devel and not your meeting. 02:49:03 feel free to pm that link if you do find one 02:49:14 Some of that article is true, and some of it is hogwash 02:51:05 the closest is infact rawhide, but the cons on a---linux are too many. for the normal user or someone who has just shifted from windows or mac, a linux would not be for them 02:53:24 One thing I love doing is showing people my set up. Nothing too complicated, all business. 02:54:20 steelaworkn, you can also showcase how you got there with a presentation, that always helps out with the beginers 02:54:34 steelaworkn: curious to see a screencap, for ideas 02:54:41 I think a--linux is someting that always has to be tweaked..instead of turning in on and running 02:55:44 I imagine rolling releases were stopped for the sake of reliability/stability, right? 02:57:49 ok folks we need to wrap it up for this meeting 02:58:23 award3535, thanks as always 02:58:34 thanks award3535 for presiding 02:58:47 great seeing everyone else 02:58:51 Thanks. Sorry I was late. 02:59:04 no worries, glad you showed 02:59:39 #info Next FAmNA West meeting is 5 March 2018 at 7pm pacific 03:00:27 everyone, thank you for attending 03:00:31 #endmeeting
